Yes this airplane is totaly painted in the mold thats why you see the seams

The old school way of making a kit is to build a plug ,,get it as perfect as you can them cast molds of of that,
The new way is to CNC the plugs then make molds ,,,there are some who cnc the molds But thats very expensive, There are many ways to do it but in modeling
the best way is usually centered around $

I was Blessed to Have Mark Hunt and Mike Hester help on this project , Mark did the CAD work for the wings and Stabs and Mike and Melissa, cut some very nice foam for the project.


I`m very picky but ,, I`m getting lazy in my old age and the seam just don`t seem to bother me much these days LOL esspecially when I can cram one of these in the air in a week or two.
You can`t deny that the Scheme is Striking!! how they were able to produce that Scheme after I drew it amazed me ,,,they didn`t want to,,
But it was so beautiful it captivated them , and challenged them,,and now it`s the factory`s all time favorite scheme.

My new Web site will be up in a few weeks, I Hope ,, and I will have build pictures and how to`s on how I do things ,,,not alway conventional LOL
But I hope to share Ideas about Building ,,sharing new projects, and of coarse, Trimming
and may Be other Great modelers like Matt K. and Others who are Master in the Hobby.
